    LOL ... Actually, I'm pretty fortunate.  I don't have much trouble falling asleep.  I read a bit, which relaxes me so when I start feeling drowsy, I turn out the light, turn onto my side, and fall out within a minute or two.

      Reading some of the ad naseum nauseam whining of the one-track-minders on this website is like counting sheep!  Works for me every time, lol!

  • Insomnia has been my nemesis for way too many years.  Sometimes I take my melatonin and read a book on my Kindle white with lights out and 7 times out of 10 I fall asleep.  But if I have been working particularly hard I am so tired it keeps me awake, often till dawn. Yesterday I gave up and jumped out of bed to start cleaning lol.

    I have episodes when I am worried and I cannot sleep.  I try Melatonin and sometimes it works.  I have light kinds of medicines I use.  Like even Alieve can calm me down sometimes.  But when I am in high gear, like something at work when I was in sales?  I would be up all night too.  I would drink too much coffee all day and I was just too revved up to relax.

    Believe it or not, those meditation tapes that put you to sleep on youtube actually work.
